Does the Noris 342 Stereo have programmable recording features? The kind that turn recording on and off with frame-exact precision? How does this work exactly? There's an auction for a 342 ending tomorrow and if I can get something that has features similar to my Bauer T450 Servo Program, plus true stereo recording, then I want to know before the auction ends.

Don't worry Jan! There is always another one. Besides sometimes fate is good that way. One time I lost an auction for a Sankyo S800. It was the one with the extended arms. Well if you remember the posts it was eventually sold to a member here from the high bidder previous and he was hoping to turn it over for profit. He ended up losing around $200 and then sadly...the machine broke on a member here!

Yes, and I bought it from him and tracked down the problem, I just need replacement parts (two rectifiers and a capacitor). Believe me, I know the whole story.
Right now I'm actually bidding on a Bauer T610 ... there are several on eBay Germany that popped up all at the same time. Wish me luck...

Jan, Sorry I didnt see this post. The 342 fyi doesnt have programable recording well not digital anyway. What it can do is to use the digital counter as a way to starting and stopping recording etc. The digital counter is mechanical so is not 100% acurate.
Hows that Sankyo making out?

Well, then I'm glad I didn't win the Noris 342. (Sort of.) The Sankyo is sitting in the corner waiting for me to look at it again and hopefully identify the rectifiers that I believe need replacing. I know the capacitor is a 4700uf/25V one, all I know about the rectifiers is that there's two of them (one green, one black) with 3 pins each. Which has me a bit befuddled, shouldn't a rectifier have 4 pins (two for +/- and two for AC input)? It looks like these two are bridged together somehow... Like I said, I need to look at it again and trace the pathways to make sure...

Clever. Thanks for the info, one step closer to identifying these buggers.
Incidentally, there's a Sankyo 800 "for parts" on eBay... Said to work fine except for the motor... maybe if I win this for cheap I can just produce one fully working unit out of the two.
